What does this comparison mean?
The 5070 sits in a much higher benchmark class than the 8GB 4060 and carries 12GB. This is more than a small adjacent-model swap.
RTX 4060 8GB has 8GB and RTX 5070 12GB has 12GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RTX 4060 8GB
The RTX 4060 brought Ada features and strong efficiency into the 60-class, but its 8GB configuration framed much of the debate around the card. It is a capable 1080p option with a narrower historical claim than earlier mainstream leaders.
RTX 5070 12GB
The RTX 5070 extends Blackwell features into the 70-class with 12GB of GDDR7. Its place in the range is clear, but its lasting reputation is still being formed and should not be read as a settled legacy.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
